• Started and finished our first 5 year giveaway!
• Drooled over the new Herman Miller molded walnut plywood Eames shell chair.
• Went to an IIDA lunch and learn on color palettes for prisons
• Loved seeing Feather Canyon do an acoustic set at Rojo
• Tried the new Sonic hot fudge sundae (spoiler: it was awesome)

Happy Birthday to Peppermags!

Happy 5th Birthday, Peppermags! It's been so much fun sharing this with all of you these last 5 years. Every week I spend hours researching, bookmarking, and blogging and am so proud of this creation of mine. But, more importantly, I feel so lucky to have you as readers!

 

So, as a reward I have some surprises in store for you and am giving away gifts to a few lucky readers all month long! Giveaway starts next week so check back. Until then, I give each of you a virtual toast and a high five!

Cheers,

~Jacklyn
